Note that foxes and falcos like to illusion to the middle of the stage from the edge. It's possible to catch them in the middle of this if they're braindead right then, but usually this doesn't work.

Techchasing with usmash can work. If they trip and are going to roll towards, you have enough time to usmash. Otherwise, either grabbing or nairing is a good option.

Other than that, usmash is too slow to do much good. Go on the ike boards and look up how decent Ike players use their fsmash, it's a similar situation.

The vertical range of up smash is just amazing and due to the multi-hit nature of the attack, it's actually very good against opponents coming up from the edge.

I've caught many opponents off guard by up smashing at the edge just as they tried to jump recover or roll.

Nair to usmash can be mindgamed into

Its VERY useful for catching people out of dodges and airdodges due to its duration.

Theoretically, if they're above you, they expect you to come up and attack/juggle them. They'll air-dodge on reflex most of the time. If they are pretty high up, you can probably go for a u-smash if you think they'll try air-dodging past you. U-smash lasts longer than an air-dodge, right?

Coolest thing about up smash. Go on Yoshi's Island (Melee) and use Up smash while standing on the middle of a yellow destructible block. If you do it right the hitbox will come out above you and then immediately cancel the move. You can upsmash all over the place! Freaking sweet. Too bad the stage is almost always banned...

Use it on rollers
Seriously, people cannot really roll around this since it starts so slow and the inconspicuous animation tricks them into rolling too early sometimes. The hitboxes on the sides pick them up off the ground into the sweetspot.
